Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This topic will guide the learner through the treatment decision making process that is preceded before the actual treatment begins. It is incorporated with the Module 1 whereas the student will firstly be reminded of the factors underpinning the treatment intent, followed by the different patient cases and treatment options suitable to them including the knowledge of hereditary breast cancer. Also, the learner will gain knowledge of the importance and role of multidisciplinary team decision making. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning outcome: To demonstrate advanced knowledge of the principles  underpinning the definitive diagnosis (laboratory tests, diagnostic imaging) of breast cancer, treatment intent and treatment methods most appropriate for the breast cancer type as well as to argument the need of multidisciplinary team decision making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a look at a flowchart\/process map<\/a> of an example (Tartu University Hospital) of how breast cancer treatment pathway may be established in a clinic. Note that as they are generally developed based on international guidelines (ESMO,NCCN) they are accommodated to a particular clinic`s work arrangements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the overview of which factors underpin the treatment intent of breast cancer, please see the Prezi presentation from Module 1: “Care and treatment pathway” <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following Prezi presentation introduces the learner four different cases of breast cancer and common treatment approaches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
